Publisher Treasure Boy and developer Kindermann Corp are today proud announce the release of Shikon-X on the Nintendo Switch and PC Steam priced at $12.99 / €10.79 / £10.29. Shikon-X is a game that is hard to explain but offers a story-rich drama, intergalactic point-and-click adventure without any actual pointing or clicking, sort of open-ended experience. This definitely brings a vibe from the golden era of gaming.
Shikon-X is totally ‘retro’ focused, with its stylized colourful graphics, it harks back to the good old 8-bit days but offers challenges and immersive gameplay in a wild, whacky, moreish way!
- Streamlined ‘point-and-click’ experience without the pointing and clicking
- Gameplay designed with approachability in mind
- Intergalactic adventure inspired by 80s and 90s anime (the best kind!)
- Arcade mini-games that help drive the narrative forward
PLAY
Meet Major Daaia, the best pilot the Federation has ever seen! During a routine defense operation, Daaia receives a mysterious message from humanity’s mortal enemy, the Rolars. The message kick-starts her intergalactic adventure of epic proportions inspired by 80s and 90s anime. Visit alien planets, meet all kinds of weird and silly characters, and uncover the truth behind the war with the Rolars.
GAME ON
Shikon-X features a variety of playable arcade mini-games throughout the adventure. Fend off invaders from space in a retro-inspired arcade shooter, or flaunt your flipper skills in a fully-featured pinball table. Every mini-game serves a purpose, with certain story beats developing through these scenes!
Shikon-XÂ is out today on Nintendo Switch and PC Steam and is a title that is worth checking out.
